“The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, in partnership with Marshall Heights Community Development Organization, Inc. , has closed on construction financing for Emblem, a 115-unit, entirely affordable housing community in the middle of the thriving NoMa and Union Market neighborhoods. The community will be entirely reserved for families and individuals earning up to 30% and 50% of the Area Median Income .
The 13-story, flatiron apartment building is immediately adjacent to the Union Market District, home to renowned dining, trendsetting boutiques and dynamic nightlife. The building is also within walking distance of several grocery stores, high-performing schools and the Metropolitan Branch Trail serving commuters and recreation-seekers alike.
“Mayor Bowser has charged all of us across the public and private sectors to work together to create affordable housing throughout DC, especially in high-opportunity neighborhoods,” said Deputy Mayor Albert. “Emblem is an exciting new project that will welcome residents to this growing and vibrant area of our city.
A variety of on-site amenities will be available to Emblem residents, including a dedicated toddler playroom, an oversized bike storage room, and a multi-purpose community room. The community center will serve as a hub for resident services and events, fostering a sense of community and providing a space for gatherings, workshops and other activities that promote resident engagement and well-being.
